I know I just posted a little while ago, but I truly earns share my weight loss journey. I started in high school taking fen-phen and lost almost 50 lbs. didn't keep it off. My biggest was 278, at 5'2 and I was miserable. Was going to WLS and didn't. Lost 100 lbs by myself. Then got fat again, and finally took the plunge!! I am SICK AND TIRED of having insecurity problems because of how I "look"... I now have "insecurity" issues because of my life situations. Feels WAY different than image problems. I am sooooooooooo confused. Can anyone help????

Hey mate. Sorry you're having a rough time.

I think when we're overweight we sometimes hang all of our problems on being overweight, when maybe some of the issues might not be weight related.

A bit like someone winning the lottery and thinking that will solve all their problems. They soon find out that it only makes them wealthy with problems.

If you look at this as an opportunity it might help. I guess before some of these problems were hiding behind your weight. Now that you don't have the weight you can recognise the problems and try and deal with them.

All the best,

Deano

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
